i mean, you know, obviously the president got re-elected. he got re-elected handily. i think that should send a message to people all across the country and clearly here in florida, he took florida, too, and that was in doubt for quite some time as you know, but he did take florida. he did well in the sunshine state, and i think the message is very clear that, you know, the people want common sense. they want those in washington to work together. they also want them to coordinate with governors around the country to do what's right for the people at large. not necessarily what somebody may think is hard right or hard left but what's right for most of the people, what is common sense, and what the people deserve from their elected leaders. >> let's do some math here florida governor rick scott, i'm no fan of that guy-his approval numbers are in the tank. i guess a lot of people in florida agree with me. 33% of floridians approve of the job he's doing. that's rick scott. 57% disapprove. that's a high number of disapproval according to this automated ppp poll in january.
